AT&T MicroCell Launched
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone & iPod Touch" @ 10:00 AM
"Users have reported AT&T's new 3G MicroCell has been test launched in the Charlotte, North Carolina market, with a $150 price tag and no required monthly fees."
They are reporting speeds of 3.2Mbit/sec, which is less than half of the maximum speed (7.2Mbit/sec) supported by the 3GS, but it is in the ballpark for AT&T's "ideal service" according to the article. The device gives you 5,000 square feet of coverage, which is about a 40 foot radius. There were rumors of it costing anywhere from $19.95 USD to $29.95 USD per month on top of the purchase price, but looks like they are just going with a flat fee to purchase, thank you AT&T.
